Here's the new version, with a whole new way of making lp files. Many thanks to Martin Huiskes who not only tested it exhaustively and made many helpful suggestions which have been incorporated, but also produced the tutorial helpfile which makes sense of the arcane world of GPL AI.

P.S. Attachment removed, current version now available from first post.

hey Nige, i've never tempted to toy with AI except to race them, is this tool for dummies? or do you need some idea of whats involved? i wouldn't want to mess with files unless its pain free

i see you said it comes with a tutorial, but i just wondered how difficult it might be for someone like me.

I'd like to say it's pain free, but I'd be lying. AIEdit doesn't even really make it easier to do, but I think it does make it much easier to do well. But if you still think you might be interested taking a look at the tutorial would be a good place to start.

For those using Aiedit to make some proper ai files i made a small tool to make life a bit easier.
It can create an offset of 1.7mtrs(+ and -) in a race file so you can have a base file for passing lines much quicker. It is still a bit rudimental so should you have a problem let me know.

Once you have a proper race.lp file created open it with LPedit and create a race.txt.
Run my tool LPoffset and it will create a pass1.txt & pass2.txt.
Those passing text files can be converted back into lp files with LPedit.

Now you should be able to make a pass line much quicker.
Load the new lp files in Aiedit, generate a lcv file and change wherever the passing lines cross the min max lines. Let Aiedit generate a new lp file of the changed lcv.
